What nightmare of a HOA do you have that bans rain barrels?

I'm not aware of any HOA that bans rain water collection but many state and local governments do to protect their monopoly.

It's not a HOA. Several states in the southwest have laws prohibiting/restricting rainwater collection.

That sounds like a good idea. Just regulate the rain barrels so that they lose a certain amount of water if you don't use it yourself.

The entire states of Colorado and Utah ban rainwater collection.
